We all freak out whenever our pet goes missing and if you’ve ever experienced it before, you know you’ll do anything to find them. But netizens have a method that they’ve all said has worked in the past – asking a stray cat for help!
A Japanese twitter user recently posted saying that his cat escaped and has been missing for two days. And someone on twitter said, “talking to cats in the neighbourhood and saying to them, ‘If you see my cat, please tell it to come home’ is an effective technique” so he decided to try it out.
He went to the local convenience store and spoke to the stray cats there and the next morning his cat returned home! While you might think this is just a coincidence, MANY other netizens explained that they’ve tried it before and it works too!
Netizens started sharing how they too have tried speaking to stray cats when their pet went missing and it not only works for cats, it works for missing dogs too!
“My mother did the same thing for a child who lost their cat after just two days of having it. She told the strays the story and the cat returned the next day!”
“I went looking for my cat with a tin of cat food and when a stray crossed my path, I fed and spoke to it and my cat returned within the hour.”
“When I lost my cat, one of the strays passed our house so I asked it if it knew where my cat was. It meowed and then walked slowly towards the storehouse and meowed in front of it. Then I heard my cat meowing back from inside!”
“Our cat disappeared on the day we moved into our new place and was missing for a week. I asked a stray for its help and the next day the stray came back with my cat. I was dumbfounded!”
”Our dog disappeared so I asked a pet cat to help find it, and then a few minutes later it came back with our dog. I was freaked out and impressed at the same time!”
These are just a few testimonies and most of them said that it works! Maybe cats do understand the human language (hopefully they don’t just understand Japanese), after all they do talk back when we speak to them sometimes!
Perhaps you can try this method if you know anyone who has a lost pet in the future. Your friendly neighborhood kitties just might be of help!
